Clarke Valve was founded in 2011 by Kyle Daniels in Miami, FL, a descendant of the Miami Beach pioneering Clarke family. Mr. Daniels named his company after his great uncle, Gerald Clarke, who gave his life serving in the U.S. Army in World War II. Gerald Clarke was a brilliant mechanic and inventor.

Kyle Daniels developed the technology behind the Shutter Valve during his career as an aerospace engineer, originally as a solution for critical operational issues commonly found in aircraft valves.

The Shutter Valve started life as a new valve concept over 20 years ago and over time has transformed into what is now one of the most efficient and cost-effective valves in the world. Utilizing cutting edge design techniques driven by aerospace derived fluid dynamics, the Shutter Valve is the next major evolution in control valve design. As a result, industrial valve customers all over the world now have a cost effective alternative to Globe Valves, while keeping all of the performance attributes their processes require. Shutter Valves are available in sizes 1/4″ – 12″, ANSI pressure classes 150 – 1500, in ISA or ANSI Globe Valve face to face dimensions, an equal percentage flow characteristic, and very low torque requirements, all in a package that weighs and costs much less than equivalent Globe Valves.

Our mission at Clarke is to continue to innovate and develop valves that customers, technicians, mechanics and engineers love to use while keeping costs to a minimum.
